Thanks to Stu for sending me the original 175 & 176 photo! With the magic of photoshop, I've now been able merge the 175 & 176 photo with the 1519 photo that we took about 15 minutes later, after the BAE Systems photo was finished. The full alliance photo is posted separately at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/36655

We were also very glad to have been chosen by Buzz Robotics 175 to join their alliance, and thankful to Aces High 176 for being incredible alliance partners. We'd love to be allied with both of your teams again in the future!

The real key to this alliance's success wasn't in the capability of any one incredible robot, but in a strong alliance of three excellent robots and a well-executed game strategy. The strength of the alliance (rather than individual robots) demonstrated itself in our upsets of both the #2 and #1 seeded alliances!
